Gift able – Crisp excellent copy- Hardcover excellent copy blackboards silver titling spine dust jacket is in wonderful shape with just a small amount of ruffling on the edges- First edition inscribed to my dear brother Chuck from one singer to another you got to have the heart Mike Z- Amore is Mark Rotella's celebration of the "Italian decade"'the years after the war and before the Beatles when Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, and Tony Bennett, among others, won the hearts of the American public with a smooth, stylish, classy brand of pop. In Rotella's vivid telling, the stories behind forty Italian American classics (from "O Sole Mio," "Night and Day," and "Mack the Knife" to "Volare" and "I Wonder Why") show how a glorious musical tradition became the sound track of postwar America and the expression of a sense of style that we still cherish. Rotella follows the music from the opera houses and piazzas of southern Italy, to the barrooms of the Bronx and Hoboken, to the Copacabana, the Paramount Theatre, and the Vegas Strip. He shows us the hardworking musicians whose voices were to become ubiquitous on jukeboxes and the radio and whose names'some anglicized, some not'have become bywords for Italian American success, even as they were dogged by stereotypes and prejudice. Amore is the personal Top 40 of one proud son of Italy; it is also a love song to Italian American culture and an evocation of an age that belongs to us all. - Amore: The Story of Italian American Song-Mark Rotella- First edition second printing designed by Abby Kagan Jacket design by Jennifer Caro jacket photo of couple Paul Schuster Getty Images microphone stock photo author photo Sigrid Estrada-9780865476981 0865476985- Popular music u.s. history criticism Italian American singers music history / Italian ..LAX Vespa,Los Angeles - see pictures maybe this will do it maybe it won't.-- .LAX Vespa shipped -United States Post to fulfill your order, Los Angeles I carefully pack your book,-books wrapped,not co-mingled,you get the copy you were viewing.-- very carefully packed/wrapped-- -Amore 3912 MUSIC 3 LR
